San Bruno City Council Meeting 10/27/09 - 10d. Status of Public Emergency
B
Mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
as
I
reported
to
you
at
the
last
city
council
meeting
on
october
eight,
I
used
my
authority
and
subtraction
of
emergency
services
to
declare
an
emergency
as
a
result
of
the
failure
of
a
sewer
line
in
1200
block
of
montgomery
avenue.
That
action,
followed
information
being
provided
to
me
by
staff
that
several
AT&T
utility
vaults
in
that
region,
underground
utility
vaults,
had
become
filled
and
contaminated
with
sewage.
B
As
I
reported
to
you
previously,
all
of
the
discharge
from
the
into
those
utility
vaults
was
properly
handled
and
there
was
no
flow
of
raw
sewage
to
contaminate
local
waterways.
That
being
the
case,
the
leakage
from
our
sewer
collection
system
lines
still
creates
a
violation
of
npdes
and
local
regional
water
quality
control
board
requirements
and
is
a
significant
issue
in
the
city's
operation
of
its
utility
system.
B
So
as
a
result
of
that
investigation
staff
has
directed
the
contractor
to
proceed
with
replacement
of
all
30
of
those
lateral
lines
at
this
time
that
work
is
progressing
having
begun.
Yesterday,
the
estimated
cost
of
this
work
remains
within
the
guideline
that
I
over
the
amount
that
I
reported
to
you
at
your
last
City
Council
meeting,
and
that
is
up
to
150
thousand
dollars.
B
I
have
now
executed
contract
with
West
Valley,
the
construction
company
in
the
not
to
exceed
amount
of
150
thousand
dollars
with
a
project
completion
date
of
November
30th
I
do
not
have
a
better
estimate
for
you
at
this
particular
moment
about
when
the
construction
will
precisely
be
completed.
What
will
occur
under
the
procedural
requirements
of
this
kind
of
emergency
situation
is
that
you
will
receive
a
report
from
me
at
each
of
your
next
city
council
meetings
until
the
emergency
situation
is
fully
and
finally
completed.
B
At
this
point,
I
estimate
again
that
that
will
the
work
will
be
completed
by
the
end
of
the
next
month
and
that
shortly
thereafter,
it
will
be
appropriate
for
me
to
return
to
you
with
a
final
action
to
conclude
that
emergency
situation,
that
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
immediate
questions.
Questions.
C
B
B
As
counsel
that
is
correct,
that
our
estimate
to
you
was
not
exceeding
150
thousand
dollars,
actually
staff
reports
to
me
that
the
estimate
from
West
Valley
was
140
thousand
dollars,
so
we
are
still
expecting
that
that
work
will
be
fully
completed
within
the
amount
reported
to
you
previously.
Thank
you.
